While my experience of K suggests she can successfully boss most people around, I do wonder how she would fare against the combined strength of the twins. Truly, it would be a contest for the ages.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

"Likewise, we all know from experience that Internet message boards aren’t Borg-like mind-melding machines that multiply users’ brain power."
Aside from this one obviously idiotic statement, the choice between "collective consciousness" and "100% independent actors" for describing the actions of large social groups is clearly a false dichotomy. The fact that we are not bees does not imply that we are completely asocial.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Heading to the airport soon to go to Florida, where my Internet access will be limited. See you on the 25th!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I was disappointed in how little snow we got last night.
Also, happy Winter Solstice for those who hangout in the Northern Hemisphere.
Also, is bt around? It's 12/22 there--what's it like after the end of the world?

I see what you did there, brenda.
I brought some TJ's iced gingerbread men to the office today.
Why do I have to work? Sigh.
But at least it's Friday and I'm in jeans. I get to dogsit this weekend while my sister's family goes skiing: but at least we're down to only about 110 lbs of dog now. And I can stay in my own house, although if the Demon Golden Retriever eats any of my shoes, I will be Very Upset.

Compassionately intolerant
"If only Nancy Lanza had guns then she could protected herself!" So I'm sort of a bad person too.
This has been my response, actually.
On fb, there is a great quote, "If a pre-schooler hits another child with a rock, the answer is NOT that all pre-schoolers should have rocks."
It's tragic that simple logic does not win.
Happy travels, Sparky!
I wasn't playing the game, but I have not heard LDB at all yet this year. I think that may be a result of hermiting and listing to HPotter books instead of the radio. Still, unsullied.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
On the Internet, no one knows if you're a bee.
Happy solstice! I was half considering getting up at 3 am to light a fire but sleep and sanity won out this year.

I truly feel that the only workable solutions to gun violence begin with repealing the 2nd Amendment. As long as we still have enshrined in our constitution the right of individuals to arm themselves well enough to overthrow the government, state and local gun control laws are a non-starter.
